| Best/Cheapest/Easist Way To Burn CD's? Here is an EAC tip:Go to drive option, select "secure mode" under "extraction method" tap. that's it, it should extract every single bit of info from your CD out.I use EAC for copying, but use iTune for ripping to my computer. EAC can easily take ... | |
| Any new up & coming high end speaker lines? Not to start a war with Audiofeil. I always suggest everyone to trust his/her own ears, there are tons of great reviews on Usher BE-10/20 and I am a believer after hearing them a few times, your Rockport Antares friend can tell you what I have own... | |
| Any new up & coming high end speaker lines? There is a pair of Aerial 20T in your area, it's quite good overall from top to bottom.But if I was the one spending the money, I will buy Usher BE-20 instead. I haven't heard anything that sounds more exciting under $20k, the Be midrange is reall... | |
| Best Small budget speakers for girlfriend As a former Spica TC-50 owner, I will stay away from them unless you plan to use them as furniture (very ugly one) when drivers fail.Search for a pair of Usher S-520, one of the best sound in sub $500 category. I had them with my TEAC 500 series a... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri Memento's I am using Plinius 9200 with Memento (as well as Usher BE-718). As good as 9200 is, I will vote for tube amps. My main system is tube and I can not recreate the tube magic even with Memento. You can always start with something cheap like Cary or R... | |
| Fan noise from Toshiba HD-XA2? My A3 also has a fan and I can hear it from miles away. Ok, maybe not that loud, but I definitely can hear it from 5' away but then I do think I have good hearing otherwise I would not be an audiophile. Not a concern for movie though. | |
| Is there a very nice SS amp around 1K? Don't forget Forte 4A. Does not meet your 100 wpc spec, but it does pump out 100 wpc @ 4ohm and runs in pure class A. Very sweet sounding, I like it better than McCormack and most think McCormack DNA is better than Odyssey. | |
| Review: Usher BE-10 Speaker Serus,I think you should look inside most $10k+ speakers on the market, you will be very surprise what manufactures use.I had Sonus Faber Extrema before and they retailed over $10k 15 years ago, they also used cheap wire and cheap caps. It's not w... | |
| Best Speakers to match Ayre V-1xe and K-1xe Just heard the latest speaker from Dynaudio, Sapphire, which is their 30th anniversary model and uses drivers from Evidence line. Dealer claims the sound is better than C2/4 which I don't doubt. Driven by top Plinius gears, I walked out feeling a ... | |
| Drivers for Paragon Acounstic JEM Madisound will sell you replacement drivers if you ship them your old Dynaudio drivers. Hope Paragon did not modify or special order those drivers since Madisound only carries stock Dynaudio drivers. | |
| Why the sudden popularity of 12 inch arms SME has been making 12" arm for years, Japanese especially loves the old SME 3012 and some 3012 were made with beautiful gold plating. Genesis168 pointed out the key point and that's why 3012 is a favorite of Japanese who value musicality over spe... | |
| Classical speakers that do violins well?? Usher BE-718, one of the most realistic violiin reproduction I have heard regardless of price. I have owned most of Sonus Faber mentioned above, Usher is a giant step above them. | |
| Did Kharma make their 3.2 FE too short? I do have a different take. In my experience, I listen almost near field with speakers 8' apart and I sit about 7' from the line drawn between the speakers, I do find most speakers can benefit from being a little taller. This is true regardless wh... | |
| ARC ls26 vs.SF Line-3/se I think what everyone tried to tell you is it is a lateral move at best. SF L3SE is a reference piece and still competes with the best today, comes down to what sound do you like. there is no two gears that sound alike and saying which one is bett... | |
| ARC ls26 vs.SF Line-3/se Saxo at it's best again. Not stating any facts but just what he "heard" or "believed".Take a quote from someone who has no financial interest in either ARC or SF gears, but respectable for his hearing and ability to pick out good gears. I won't sa... |
